Obama has a fair amount in common with George W. when he was running in 2000, notably that he talked a good talk (toward his respective base of support, anyway), but was often accused of a lack of experience. Just like W. picked up Cheney as his V.P., I predict Obama will similarly reach for an "experienced" V.P.

If you want to follow that "experience" thought to its logical conclusion, several people are possibilities, including Bill Richardson or Joe Biden. At this point, I think it's going to be Richardson. If I had to reach for more of a wildcard choice, I'd go with NYC Mayor Mike Boomberg (who would probably say no) or with Sen. Ted Kennedy (to continue playing up the mythos of Obama as the heir to Jack Kennedy).
